Suggested workouts doesn't match load focus

Have you set your DSW to HR or pace?

Are your workouts pace-based or HR based?

I was recently facing the same issue, though I did have a target time for my race.

Found this just this morning, so I might be trying the suggestions:

They're based on a 80/20 type of structure, with mostly easy runs in Zone 2, with some speedwork sparkled in. To make the most out of them 1) set the goal type to HR instead of Pace and 2) set your zones right, so based on %LTHR or at least %HRR, not the default crap %MaxHR..

Noticed it was on pace on the watch, changed in to HR. See what happens tomorrow.
I had it on 'finish the event' on Garmin connect, but when I  come back to this setting the blue tick is gone and I need to set it again.

Just so to reduce the number of redirects, to change the setting:

Changed it, the DSW are today HR based. But I still get high intensity workout, while my Load Balance tells me I should take a rest and pushing too hard.

These two widgets are apparently not working together. 

I think acute load (7 days) and training readiness
is the main influencing factor.
Load Focus is the statistics of the past 28 days

According to Garmin (https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=oYknGZ910l1pfBNzkDHX6A):

The following items all factor into your workout suggestions:

• Training Status

• Training load and load focus

• VO2 max value

• Recovery time

• Sleep data

• Profile of recently performed workouts

Thanks for looking that up. Then their is a bug in the software.

How close are your final aerobic and anaerobic loads of the suggested workouts compared to the projections given in the suggested workout description?
